OW! Do you ever stab your gums with your toothbrush?

I was minding my own business last night, brushing my teeth before bed, when I suddenly keeled over from pain. I fell on the floor, clutching the left side of my face, and toothpaste dripped uncontrollably from my mouth. I had jabbed the top of my toothbrush directly into my gums with probably 20-30 lbs. of force. I honestly think that's the worst short-term (10-15 seconds) pain I've ever experienced.

It's still extremely sore today, and my gums are all purple in that area. I never realized you could bruise your gums, but hey, I learn something new every day.

Ow, just thinking about it makes me cringe.

Did he ever say he had kidney stones? Thats like saying "it was more painful when I chewed off my left leg because it looked delicious!"

 

[Twerpzilla]

Anyone ever hear of "soft bristles" . . . .

 

[DOSfan]

My personal worst pain evar (short term - less than five minutes) is opening a door over my bare toes.

That hurts like hell, especially for not causing much damage....

 

[Crucial]

I hate that. I always get a kanker sore when I do that. Thankfully I am more aware of that and don't do it at all anymore.

 

[Konigin]

yeah a few times, never that bad though.

 

[BillyBatson]

yeah i do it every now and then where i'll hit my gumms or the brush will slip and actually scratch em, soooo painful so i stand there with shock on my face looking at myself in the mirror with my mouth half open as if i am afraid it will hrut moe if i close em, sucks

HFS what are you doing useing 20-30 lbs of force bruching your teeth. The stuff that you can get off with a toothbrush will just wipe off. Any hard deposits need to be taken off by a hygieist. I tell all my patients to hold their brushes with their fingertips. Time is way more important than force. Lighten up. There is no reason to injur yourself wilst brushing.

But usually the plastic part of any toothbrush hurts like a *(^&*% when you jam into your gums.

 

[EarthwormJim]

Maybe you guys should try electric tooth brushes.

No, are you a retarded monkey having a seizure when you brush your teeth?
